We’re almost insanely proud to feature San Francisco rockers The Soft White Sixties as our Featured Artist. If you haven’t checked out our essential introduction to the band, you can do that right here. Seriously. We can wait. Go on.

Back already? Great. Hopefully that’s put you in the mood for the acres of exclusive stuff BAMM.tv and The Soft White Sixties have got coming your way in the next week or two … including today! ‘Knock It Loose’ is a real gem from the BAMM.tv archives – shot in December 2011, it’s a fascinating feature-length documentary which follows the boys (then a five-piece) on their first ever West Coast tour. We’d compiled all the episodes below into one amazing playlist, for your viewing pleasure. Yeah, we know, we’re too good to you sometimes.

Expect rock and roll, burritos, beer, fireworks and all sorts of general mischief. Enjoy!

We’re almost at the end of our 12 day countdown to Christmas, and we hope you’ve been enjoying our look back at our 2012 highlights as much as we have. Today we’re showcasing one of the most ambitious projects in our catalog – the awesome ‘Hidden’, a documentary which follows the incredible young Amsterdam band Jungle By Night as they prepare to unleash their unique Afrobeat sound on the world with their debut album release. Perfect viewing for a lazy Saturday – check it out above.

Yesterday we showcased the entire season of our exclusive music doc Global Scene: London, and today – for Day Five of our 12 day countdown to Christmas – we’re moving further into mainland Europe with our follow-up series, Global Scene: Amsterdam. If you happened to miss the show when it was released week by week earlier this year, you can now catch the whole season compiled below. Enjoy!

It’s Day Two of our 12-day celebration of all things BAMM 2012. We’ve compiled a season of our greatest moments from the year gone by and are throwing them your way absolutely free. What kind of moments, you might ask? Well – how about a feature-length documentary following San Fransisco rock animals The Soft White Sixties?

Below are all nine episodes of ‘Knock It Loose’, which you can watch as one glorious film-length whole. And once you’re done, remember to check out some of their awesome performances from the BAMM.tv archives.

We’ve been throwing all sorts of great music your way with our ‘Global Scene Live: Amsterdam’ season, and we have even more exciting dispatches from Amsterdam’s legendary Desmet Studios waiting in the wings. In the meantime, though (and sticking around the Netherlands) we have something very, very special indeed.

Jungle By Night are one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in the world right now. Infact, we were so impressed with this Amsterdam-based Afrobeat collective that we followed them during the build-up to the release of their superb new album ‘Hidden.’ The result? The above documentary, which ranks as one of the most ambitious things BAMM.tv has ever done. You’re going to love it.

Aaaaaand one more thing – if you’re an Amsterdam native (or just happen to be in the city on Saturday November 24) then head to the Melkweg cinema for a big-screen viewing of the documentary! Flyer below, more info here …

Next week we’re launching a great new season of musical goodies entitled ‘Global Scene Live: Amsterdam’ – a selection of the very best bands in Amsterdam, who we filmed at the legendary Desmet studios earlier this year. Why not put yourself in a BAMMsterdam frame of mind by catching up with (or maybe revisiting) our in-depth ‘Global Scene’ documentary series on Amsterdam’s music scene? Every episode below:

Here’s something to stave off those mid-week blues. We’ve compiled every episode of ‘Knock It Loose’, our feature-length look at BAMM faves The Soft White Sixties into a video playlist (below). If you haven’t seen any of this yet, prepare yourself for a feature-length treat. If you have, why not relive your favorite moments?

All good things, the cliche goes, must come to an end. And it’s true. Even the universe (which has had a few good moments here and there, you have to agree) will one day cease to exist. In the meantime, though, we might as well enjoy ourselves – and what better way of doing that by immersing yourself in the final installment of our epic rockumentary series ‘Knock It Loose’?

We’re still following old-school rockers The Stone Foxes on their very first nationwide tour, and things are about to come to an emotional and satisfying conclusion (which is more than could be said for the ending of a certain ABC series set on an island, right guys?). And if you haven’t been keeping up to date with ‘Knock It Loose’, this release means that you now have the chance to watch the whole thing in all its feature-length glory. Go on … treat yourself, it’s Friday.

What can we say about our ongoing series ‘Knock It Loose’ that hasn’t been said before? Well, we could claim that it’s an in-depth look at cloud formations around the polar caps of the planet Mars, but that would frankly be misleading. Besides, we think the Curiosity Rover has that stuff covered for the time being.

Instead, we’ll just repeat ourselves, for the benefit of those of you who haven’t caught any previous episodes (a situation you need to rectify, stat): ‘Knock It Loose’ is a feature-length epic which follows the exploits of foot-stompin’ rock and rollers The Soft White Sixties as they embark on their first large tours. This week the lads hit Portland.

This is one of the biggest things BAMM has ever done, and certainly one of the coolest. Check it out …

We’ve been on something of a BAMM.tv roll recently - throwing goodies your way like a summertime Santa Claus (and trust us when we say that big white beard really itches in the sweltering July heat). Now here’s another present for you to unwrap … erm, in a virtual sense. Alright, we’ll stop it with the odd metaphors now – we’ve got another great video for you, and here it is.

The video in question? Why, it’s part six of our exclusive documentary ‘Knock It Loose – a movie which follows BAMM rock faves The Soft White Sixties on their first ever West Coast tour, and is definitely one of the coolest and most ambitious things we’ve ever done. If you’ve missed any other episodes of this, you need to catch up pronto. If you haven’t, then feast your eyes on the newest installment …
